UNESCO partners with India to explore AI's role in addressing global social and economic challenges, focusing on ethical application and sustainability.

UNESCO partners with India on AI ethics

UNESCO and India collaborate to address AI's social and economic impacts. This partnership is crucial for the 2025 summit, focusing on ethical and sustainable AI practices.

UNESCO & India Join Forces on AI Challenges

UNESCO collaborates with India for a global AI summit addressing social and economic challenges, focusing on ethics and sustainability.

The UNESCO is working with India on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing social and economic issues with technological innovation as New Delhi prepares to host the global summit on AI impact early next year, an official said on Friday.
&ldquo;India is a shining star for the rest of the world in terms of digital transformation and in terms of addressing some of the social and economic issues with technological innovation and the right policy,&rdquo; said Irakli Khodeli, Head of Ethics of AI Unit, Social and Human Sciences Sector, UNESCO.
&ldquo;The world is looking up to India to learn about that. It would be a significant part of the next year's summit as well,&rdquo; the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) official told PTI here at the "Third UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of AI 2025&rdquo;.
UNESCO, which has 193 countries as members, held the first summit in 2023 in the UK and the second in 2024 in South Korea on AI &ldquo;Safety&rdquo;. The event was held in Paris in February this year on AI &ldquo;Action&rdquo;.
&ldquo;It is time now for action to demonstrate AI impact,&rdquo; he said, pointing out that the time for discussing the ethical framework had passed with the recommendation report on AI.
&ldquo;We hope to be working with the (Indian) government as we start preparing for the Global Summit on AI Impact to be hosted by India early next,&rdquo; Khodeli said.
&ldquo;This is going to be a major event as participants will give updates, share their experiences and lessons learned,&rdquo; he added.Khodeli, underlining UNESCO&rsquo;s working relationship with the Indian government as a knowledge partner during India&rsquo;s G20 Presidency in 2023, said: &ldquo;India has been an important partner of UNESCO in our journey from the very beginning when the AI recommendation was prepared.&rdquo;India played a critical role and had an expert in the 24-member advocate group that prepared the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Recommendation report -- a primary instrument adopted four years ago by the 193 UNESCO member countries.The official said the ethics policy is universally valid and pursued everywhere.Following the report, UNESCO has deployed another report, &ldquo;Readiness Assessment Methodology&rdquo;, for member countries to understand AI opportunities and the gaps to be filled for them to take full advantage of the revolutionary technology.
&ldquo;India is one of the top innovators - both in terms of technology and also in term of policy to govern the technology,&rdquo; observed Khodeli, underscoring the importance of policy innovation to ensure the technology is put to the best use for mankind, and create an environment that is conducive to investment and growth.
He noted India&rsquo;s extensive work on technologies, and said UNESCO was capturing those good practices, knowledge and experiences of governance of AI to make them available to the rest of the world for them to replicate such success.
In return, UNESCO is also bringing to India what the grouping has learned from the rest of the world, citing the example of the Bangkok Forum, where brainstorming sessions were held by close to 50 member countries, represented by senior officials at ministerial levels, he said.
&ldquo;We are doing the Readiness Assessment with over 70 countries. We are learning a lot about what works to promote AI and what doesn&rsquo;t work,&rdquo; he said, adding that the experiences and knowledge are shared with members, including India.
"India is famous for exporting its talent, and everybody knows the important part the people of Indian-origin play in big tech corporations around the world. That is something to be very proud of,&rdquo; he underlined.
He said UNESCO wants AI engineers to consider ethics as part of designing the technology, and during various talent trainings, ethics is part of the programmes.
Acknowledging the AI as an incredible breakthrough by humanity, Khodeli felt more work needed to be done to make the technology less resource-intensive.
Increasing access to AI means more data centres and infrastructure for the ecosystem that is currently resource-intensive, he added.
Khodeli called for a balance and parallel development of technology in terms of environment and resources, as this technology is predictable and beyond human brain revolution.
&ldquo;We need to focus on new AI systems that are less resource-intensive,&rdquo; he emphasised, adding, &ldquo;This transformation of AI is set to continue.&rdquo;

Idukki's IDRIS project uses AI and satellite technology to predict disasters. With sensors and multilingual alerts, it aims to advance disaster preparedness and resilience in Kerala.

IDRIS: AI-Powered Disaster Preparedness in Idukki

Idukki’s IDRIS initiative uses AI and satellite tech to predict landslides and floods. With real-time data and multilingual alerts, it enhances disaster resilience in Kerala's vulnerable regions.

IDRIS in Idukki leverages AI, sensors, and satellites to predict natural hazards. The project includes real-time monitoring and multilingual alerts, ensuring swift responses to threats like landslides and floods.

In the lush, hilly district of Idukki in Kerala, where nature's beauty meets frequent danger, authorities are turning to technology for protection.
A new high-tech system using artificial intelligence, sensors, and satellite maps will soon help predict landslides, flash floods, forest fires, and droughts in real time -- part of an ambitious plan to make Idukki the most disaster-resilient hill district in the country.
The innovative Idukki Disaster Resilience and Information System (IDRIS)-- a first-of-its-kind early warning and planning platform -- will be rolled out this monsoon as a pilot project, said District Collector V Vigneshwari here on Tuesday.
The pilot rollout will begin in Adimaly and Rajakkad, two areas often hit by landslides, floods, and rising conflict between people and wildlife, an official release said.
IDRIS is the first system of its kind in India, combining real-time data, satellite maps, and advanced tools like Artificial Intelligence to send early warnings for natural disasters such as landslides, flash floods, wildfires, and drought, the release claimed.
The system will help local leaders and government officials make better, faster decisions. It does this by using GIS-based risk maps to guide where roads, buildings, and water systems should be built -- keeping both people and nature in mind, officials said.
The system is being developed under the leadership of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA).
The system uses artificial intelligence, sensors and satellite maps to monitor and predict hazards like landslides, flash floods, forest fires and droughts in real time, the release said.
"Forty-six sensors will monitor soil movement, rain and moisture levels. Forty-eight river gauges will track water levels in key tributaries such as the Thodupuzha River and Pamba. Data will be fed live into a GIS-based control room at the District Emergency Operations Centre. Officials will use this information to send early warnings and guide safer infrastructure planning," it said.
Alerts will be sent through SMS, sirens, radio and a mobile app, in Malayalam, English, Tamil, Hindi, and tribal languages.
"The development of the IDRIS software and its field-level testing will begin soon," the district collector said.
The aim is to transform Idukki into India's most disaster-resilient hill district by combining sensor technology, GIS-based risk layers, and machine learning, she added.
Officials said Idukki is a district highly prone to disasters.
Since 2000, it has faced over 600 landslides, recurring floods, rising incidents of wild animal attacks, unsafe constructions, and forest fires, they said.
Taking all these risks into account, a comprehensive multi-hazard monitoring system is being set up in the district, officials added.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh advocates AI usage in assigning IAS officers to domain roles, enhancing transparency and efficiency within the 2025 e-civil list, aligning with Digital India goals.

AI in IAS Assignment Enhances Governance

AI integration proposed by Minister Jitendra Singh to improve IAS officer assignments, enhancing transparency in the 2025 e-civil list; advancing digital governance and eco-friendly practices.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh backs AI for domain-based IAS postings

Union Minister Jitendra Singh suggests AI in IAS officer assignment for improved project alignment, as the 2025 e-civil list launches, aiming for digital transparency and efficiency.

Union minister Jitendra Singh on Monday suggested use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in identifying IAS officers for domain-specific postings and targeted government projects.
The minister's proposal came during an event in which he launched the electronic civil list, 2025 in the form of an e-book -- a digital compendium of serving Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers across the country.
Singh, while unveiling the e-book, said the IAS continues to attract some of the finest minds in the country and plays a vital role in strengthening India's federal governance.
He highlighted the e-civil list as an important tool for transparency, offering a structured view of the country's administrative leadership.
Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, proposed an AI-based search option into the e-civil list.
This enhancement, he noted, could allow domain-specific searches to help identify suitable officers for mission mode and other targeted government projects, while ensuring that access to such features remains appropriately restricted, according to a Personnel Ministry statement.
The minister also stressed the importance of regularly updating the digital list to maintain its relevance and utility.
The e-book, published by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), contains comprehensive details of IAS officers &mdash; including their name, batch, cadre, present posting, pay level, educational qualifications and retirement dates &mdash; as updated on January 1.
It also provides cadre-wise strength, the number of officers retiring over the next five years and appointment data from 1969 onwards.
For the first time, officers' photographs have been included in the digital document, the statement said.
Designed as a searchable PDF with embedded hyperlinks, the e-book offers a user-friendly interface that enables instant access to information.
"The civil list is an important resource not just for administrators and decision-makers but also for the general public," Singh said, adding that the move reflects the Centre's larger push for digital governance.
The minister described the initiative as part of the government of India's Digital India mission, aimed at modernising systems and improving citizen-centric services, the statement said.
By discontinuing the printing of hard copies, the department is also saving on government expenditure and contributing to eco-friendly governance practices, it added.
The DoPT, as the cadre-controlling authority of the IAS officers, compiles the civil list annually using inputs from central records and state cadres. The 2025 edition reflects a total authorised cadre strength of 6,877 officers, with 5,577 officers in active service across 25 state cadres.
The launch event was attended by several senior dignitaries, including Director General of the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) S N Tripathi, Director of the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) Sriram Taranikanti and Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Rachna Shah, along with other senior officials.
The e-book civil list, 2025 is now available to the public on the DoPT website https://dopt.gov.in.

'Diligent govt officer' AI robot 'dies by suicide' in South Korea

AI robot 'dies by suicide' in South Korea

Witnesses saw the robot-officer mysteriously 'circling in one spot as if something was there' before it occurred, but the exact cause of the fall is still being investigated, The Daily Mail said quoting a city council official.&nbsp;

In an incredibly bizarre news, a robot employed by a government firm in South Korea has, believe it or not, &lsquo;died by suicide&rsquo;.
The unnamed robot was discovered unresponsive after apparently throwing itself down a flight of stairs, according to a report by The Daily Mail on June 26.
The &lsquo;Robot Supervisor&rsquo;, appointed in August 2023, was found smashed and lying in the stairwell between the first and second floors of the Gumi City Council building.
Manufactured by Bear Robotics, a Californian startup specialising in robot waiters, the robot worked from 9 am to 6 pm and had its own civil service officer card, as reported by The Daily Mail.
The incident occurred on June 20, 2024, according to the report.

While the senior engineers available to build core AI products is less than 2,000, the total Indian talent with minimum required skills and exposure to core AI is a little under 21,000

India has less than 2,000 senior AI engineers to build core products: Report

<h2>While the senior engineers available to build core AI products is less than 2,000, the total Indian talent with minimum required skills and exposure to core AI is a little under 21,000</h2>

Even as the tech sector is riding the AI boom, India has less than 2,000 senior engineers who can build AI core products, revealed data from specialist staffing firm Xpheno, accessed by Moneycontrol. This comes, despite Technology product and IT services companies are reportedly training thousands of employees in artificial intelligence (AI) skills over the past year.
Core AI products and services include AI-based apps, tools and platforms, to name a few.
<h3>AI training</h3>
As per Moneycontrol, Tata Consultancy Services recently said it had trained 350,000 employees in AI skills; Infosys said eight out of 10 employees are AI-ready; Accenture is upskilling 250,000 employees in AI; HCLTech has trained 50,000 employees; Microsoft India plans to skill 2 million people in AI by 2025, and IBM has globally committed to train 2 million people in AI by 2026.
The Xpheno report further mentioned that the total active accessible Indian talent with the minimum required skills, experience and exposure to core AI is a little under 21,000. Meanwhile Nasscom claimed that 650,000-700,000 people are trained on AI across top-tier tech companies.
<h3>Skill Building</h3>
Moneycontrol quoted experts and said that there are other aspects of AI skilling - beyond building core technologies - that are more geared to embedding and integrating AI to improve daily tasks and productivity. This training is not restricted to engineering talent but is also about skilling other functions such as marketing and even HR.
&ldquo;The (AI) training that people are doing is more mass market," said Jagdish Mitra, a tech veteran and board member of the non-profit National Skill Development Corporation. "And that's not what will be valuable. What will be valuable is process-specific, application-specific and industry-specific skilling that will make a difference to how the skills are being used. It has to be more specific, otherwise it's like a man walking around with a hammer trying to find a nail.&rdquo;
Citing a recent Nasscom and BCG report, Sangeeta Gupta, senior VP at Nasscom told Moneycontrol that the AI talent will grow 15% year on year; and there is already a demand-supply gap of about 51% for niche skills that will help build core AI.

New study suggests 40% of employees need reskilling, thanks to AI 

Based on research carried out by the IBM, a minimum of 40% of the workforce will need to undergo reskilling within the upcoming 3 years.

In a study conducted by the Institute for Business Value (IBM), it was revealed that approximately 40 per cent of employees are anticipated to undergo reskilling within the next three years. This equates to around 1.4 billion individuals out of the global workforce of 3.4 billion, as indicated by World Bank data. This reskilling necessity arises mainly due to the influence of AI and automation.
The impact of AI is projected to be felt across all job levels, with a particular emphasis on entry-level positions or newcomers to the workforce. Notably, 77 per cent of surveyed executives acknowledged that AI's effects are already being observed in entry-level roles, and this trend is anticipated to intensify over the coming years.
IBM's research draws data from two comprehensive studies: one involving 3,000 C-level executives from 28 countries, and the other encompassing 21,000 workers across 22 countries.
The study underscores that employees who successfully transition their skills to align with technology-driven shifts experience an average premium of 15 per cent in revenue growth rate. Additionally, those who leverage AI in their roles exhibit a remarkable 36 per cent higher revenue growth rate compared to their peers who do not engage with AI.

HYBE, K-pop’s biggest music label, to lift language barrier with AI? Here’s what we know

In a statement, HYBE said some K-pop singers have released songs in English and Japanese in addition to their native Korean, but applying the new technology for a simultaneous six-language release is a global first and it could pave the way for it to be used by more popular acts.

In a statement, HYBE said some K-pop singers have released songs in English and Japanese in addition to their native Korean, but applying the new technology for a simultaneous six-language release is a global first.

South Korea&rsquo;s largest music label HYBE, which brought the world hit boy group BTS, is now using artificial intelligence to meld a Korean singer&rsquo;s voice with those of native speakers in 5 other languages.
HYBE is set to release a track by singer MIDNATT in six languages &ndash; Korean, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese in May 2024.
According to HYBE, some K-pop singers have released songs in English and Japanese in addition to their native Korean, but applying the new technology for a simultaneous six-language release is a global first and it could pave the way for it to be used by more popular acts.
&lsquo;We would first listen to the reaction, the voice of the fans, then decide what our next steps should be,&rsquo; said Chung Wooyong, the head of HYBE&rsquo;s interactive media arm in an interview at the company&rsquo;s studio.
&lsquo;We divided a piece of sound into different components &ndash; pronunciation, timbre, pitch and volume. We looked at pronunciation which is associated with tongue movement and used our imagination to see what kind of outcome we could make using our technology,&rsquo; Chung said.
HYBE announced the 45 billion won ($36 million) acquisition of Supertone in January.
HYBE said it planned to make some of the AI technology used in MIDNATT&rsquo;s song accessible to creators and the public.
In a statement, MIDNATT said using AI had allowed him a &lsquo;wider spectrum of artistic expressions.&rsquo;
&lsquo;I feel that the language barrier has been lifted and it&rsquo;s much easier for global fans to have an immersive experience with my music,&rsquo; he said.
